I have recently begun seeing some Christmas items at stores such as Hallmark, and a few craft shops. I'm on the look out for other stores to begin putting items out. I know it's a bit early but please feel free to share when you see any. I know Kmart usually puts their holiday merchandise out early....last year, it was early September I believe.

Thanks for the info...I didn't realize the Sears Christmas catalog was out. Hopefully I'll be getting my card soon. I normally get the JcPenney Christmas book early to mid September if I'm not mistaken.

i was in our local dolalr store yesterday for the first time in a few weeks....they had 1 full aisle of christmas stuff and 2 half aisles. plus an end cap of another aisle full of christmas wrapping paper and gift boxes.

I noticed that when I went into our Dollar Tree. It had a great deal of Christmas items. I was happy to see it.

I'm beginning to see more and more Christmas items out....the Dollar General has a couple of aisles dedicated to Christmas, and Big Lots has a great deal of items. The leaves are falling and it's fast approaching. Before you know it, we'll be seeing Christmas trees and all of the trimmings. I'm way too excited.
